Fatal error unexpected ‘?’

    Hi,

    I wanted to install Modern Events Calendar Lite, I installed it through WordPress, no problem. Then when I wanted to activate it I got the following error:

    The plugin could not be activated due to a fatal error it is causing:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘?’ in …/wp-content/plugins/modern-events-calendar-lite/app/libraries/main.php on line 6342

    I am still on PHP 5.6, but as there was no warning when installing it I thought that it should be okay. With some plugins or theme I get the message, that they are not compatible with my php version.
    I wanted to install it to evaluate buying a pro licence. Sadly I can not update my php version atm. Please help.

  • I have the same exact error, same file and same line.
    And I’m also running PHP 5.6.40.

    The problem happened when the plugin updated to 5.16.6, the 28th of January.

    Can someone confirm that PHP version is the source of the problem?

    I can confirm that PHP was the problem, updated to 7,4 and all works fine now.

    Thank you for your rapid response. But regrettably I get the same error for another file now:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘?’ in …/wp-content/plugins/modern-events-calendar-lite/app/features/occurrences.php on line 361

    And I can’t even delete the plugin now.
